Regulatory Intelligence
& Digital Trust
Most websites violate at least one EU regulation without knowing it. Cookie consent fines reach €600,000. Accessibility lawsuits in the US average $25,000 per claim — with 4,000+ filed every year.
Elgarde continuously monitors your website for privacy, cookie consent, and accessibility risks, delivering proof-grade reports with precise statutory references across jurisdictions.
ePrivacy, EAA, GDPR, WCAG 2.1 — four frameworks, one platform
NL, PT, FR, BE, ES, IT, IE — seven EU markets covered
Continuous monitoring — alerts when compliance breaks after a deploy

Why Elgarde
Compliance that scales with your business, not your budget
Whether you're a 5-person startup or an established enterprise, Elgarde gives you regulatory intelligence — continuously, automatically, across jurisdictions.
The cost of non-compliance
Fines, lawsuits, and complaints are not hypothetical
Regulators fine. Competitors file complaints. Disability rights organizations sue. The Dutch DPA is scanning 10,000 websites for cookie violations. France's CNIL issued 69 fast-track fines in 2024 alone. In the US, 4,000+ ADA accessibility lawsuits are filed every year — 67% targeting businesses under $25M in revenue.
Every jurisdiction, one dashboard
Cookie consent rules differ between the Netherlands and Portugal. Accessibility deadlines differ between the EU and the US. Elgarde knows which regulations apply to your site and cites the exact statutes in your reports.

- — Instant alerts on new violations
- — Documented diligence — proof you actively monitor compliance, a strong defense if claims arise

Kruidvat (Netherlands, 2024)
Pre-ticked cookie checkboxes on a drugstore website. The Dutch DPA ruled that visitors couldn't meaningfully refuse tracking. Violation: ePrivacy Directive Art. 5(3).
€300,000
Ediscom (Italy, 2023)
The "reject" option was hidden in small text at the bottom of the page, while "accept" was prominently displayed. The Italian Garante ruled this manipulative design.
$5.15M
Fashion Nova (USA, 2025)
Class-action settlement after the e-commerce site was found inaccessible to screen reader users. ADA Title III — the average US settlement is $25,000, but class actions reach millions.
The EAA changes everything. Since June 2025, the European Accessibility Act makes website accessibility legally enforceable across all 27 EU member states. France already filed the first lawsuits against four major retailers within ten days. Fines reach up to €100,000 per country — and each member state enforces independently.
